when i was younger and a university student, i have often been reminded of how i am wasting my time playing basket, work as basketball coach and playing baseball. it was by no means fitting in my parents and the surroundings of their small world. i am definitely not the only one who's facing that. i guess i sometime join their league of "lacking dimensions to life" type of persons. i thought a lot about what they said and i still argue with them and with teh perspective they have on life. in fact, what i am made of today, is the result of those days i spent living basketball. we were breathing basketball, being fed by basketball. everything was basketball, MJ, magic, penny hardaway, grant hill and for me above all were scottie pippen and ron harper. strange choices but i learnt a lot from them. to be MJ has never been as excting as being Scottie pippen or ron harper. the fact that they were quite acpable player and material contributors to MJ's success, the way they played in a team and the way they stepped up in teh time they had to, is just inspiring to me. there's hardly anything being mentioned about ron harper, but i never forget his defence on teh last ball of chicagos last championship. he out-defended john stockton on his last position and deflected his 3-pointer.
the point of all these is that no matter where you spend you time, what matters at the end of the day is that you make it worth a while, as ron harper did, as pippen did and as MJ did. i guess we (the ones that breath basketball) also did the same. it made us to be hard workers, focused and i claim professional.
